SHANGHAI—Indian digital specialist Blogworks will take home two Silver SABRE Awards for excellence in content creation when they are presented at The Holmes Report’s annual Asia-Pacific SABRE event, which will be held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Shanghai on September 18.

Blogworks won two Silver SABREs for its multidimensional “Spark The Rise” campaign, designed to communicate the Mahindra brand. The campaign also earned four certificates of excellence.

This year’s Silver SABREs will be presented at a special lunchtime event that is part of the annual ThinkTank Live conference—presented in partnership with Blue Focus and the China International Public Relations Association—that will feature several industry leaders.

“We don’t yet see the wide range or variety of content from Asia that we see from the US or Europe,” says Paul Holmes, chairman of the SABRE judges. “But the quality of content creation in the region is definitely on the rise, and some of this year’s winners were at least the equal of the work we see from more developed markets.”

The SABRE Awards dinner, meanwhile, will recognize our Asia-Pacific Consultancies of the Year and the winners of our Gold SABRE Awards for public relations campaigns. Order forms for all events can be obtained from [email protected].
